Rich Homie Quan was gearing up to release a new project when he suddenly passed away on September 5.
The popular rapper, 34, was found unresponsive in his Atlanta-area home by his girlfriend, Amber Williams. She said he’d fallen asleep on the coach and that she’d placed a blanket on him before taking her son to school in the morning. When she returned, she noticed he wasn’t breathing and had no heartbeat.
Corey Lamar, the artist’s father and manager, has since revealed they were eagerly putting together a rollout for an unreleased studio album.
“We had just completed a 20- or 25-song project and we were in the process of scheduling two video shoots off our project,” Lamar told Atlanta news station WSBTV. The grieving father also shared that Quan was scheduled to perform two shows the weekend of September 7-8 in Miami.
Lamar also revealed Quan had way more songs where that came from.
“Quan has probably over 2,000 unreleased songs. But once he gets in a mode to record those songs become old to him. And when they become old he wants to focus on the new stuff,” he said. “He has a ton of music that the fans need to hear.”
Quan’s latest single “Ah’chi” dropped in July and had reenergized anticipation for the large-scale return of his melodic raps that he popularized more than a decade ago.
